Hugh, this is one of your best in a while. No tech bulls**t, no circle-jerk 2.0, just an unadulterated reference point for just about any consumer out there. Brilliant man!
You would be wrong in the case of my neighbor. He’s 27, came to NYC from Detroit to make his mark and he did.
This would be his second script, the first being “Brunch, The Musical” which did rather well off B“way for a first attempt.
Since you seem to have a talent for selling art, why don’t you sell my pictures? I work the streets, selling isn’t my thing
I have 147,000 shots, from NYC, made for the newspapers, from 1981 to the present.
There’s also 10,000 from Japan, from the 4 times I went there, once as a celebrity with a museum show.
There’s 3,000 in that pile that could make us both rich.…
Nice. I think it works both ways. Apple’s attractive both to the wannabe artist, as well as a completely plain non creative person. For the latter too an Apple is a statement of meek rebellion.
Yeah, I hate people who use computers and/or try their hands at creative endeavors too. What jerks.
Shit, this is too funny — it is exactly how I felt after listening to yet another frustrated creative mind working at Apple store. Quit! Follow your dream whatever it might be!
Great! Not sure if you’re referring to the customers or the “geniuses” they’ve got working there.
This is the same way I feel about Starbucks
This is one of my favorites.
